Welcome to theacademy!................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

the academy (formerly The Joyce Marshall Academy of Performing Arts) is a popular weekend stage school that operates in South Wales and assists young people with extra-curricular tuition in the performing arts field, whether as a potential career, as a hobby or just for fun! Now run by the TARGET Drama Support Service, its ethos is inclusivity and its special emphasis is on a unique combination of performance and education opportunities.

the academy offers students the chance to take arts qualifications outside of school time and also provides regular stage-performance opportunities for those wishing to take their acting, singing and dancing skills further.

We believe that the performing arts should be available to everyone and work hard to ensure this is the case. Consequently, we offer scholarships and bursaries every year and try to introduce our pupils to all genres of performance so that every child can find something they love. Find out more about us...

Want to be a Star?The Academy is putting together a mailing list of all young people aged 3-18 with a passion for the performing arts. Through the work of our TARGET (Theatre Arts: Get Involved) initiative, we are liasing with local and national casting directors, to promote unique and exciting opportunities. Recently, TARGET's promotion of the CBBC's casting for Robostar, a new tv series for 10-12 year olds, resulted in a number of applications. If you'd like to be added to our mailing list, simply email enquiries@target-arts.org with details on the area of performing arts you are interested in, your age and any relevant experience. There is no charge for this service, and we may be able to reccommend local services that could assist. Contact us to register your interest.
